How are you coping?
Trapped at home. It's a test for us to find out if we like retirement someday. It never feels so good to just look at our own drive way.
It let's us feel how it is for prisoners to be locked.
Other than that, it lets us think what is important in our life if not for material things.
essential buying
The one thing that is pretty tough is the grocery shopping. Usually it's my wife and I. However, nowadays I have to go out by my own with a list of 20 or more items. It's like a scavenger hunt.
Some weeks I've been going nearby my house and to get groceries three or four times a week. I come back home, my brain burnt.
Everytime I walk into the store, temperature checks. Hand sanitizers. I've also seen the police and soldiers walking around to check if anyone dared flout the lockdown laws.
The first week of the lockdown was pretty tough. Not physically but mentally. All of the sudden, I was at home. Seven days a week, my dad who is an extrovert has to stay at home. I wake up not remembering what day it is.
It's currently 8.57am.
It will be another 1 and the half to two hours before my mission completes. That's an essential exercise that I do. I've not done any jogging or gym for the last 42 days since Malaysia announced the lockdown. The probable lifting of the lockdown is scheduled to be on the 12th May 2020. However, I think, it's going to be extended.
At the meantime, it's grocery shopping. Many non essential businesses are struggling. At this point of time, even when many businesses do not have any income, the law protects its employees and the employers have to pay their employees.
From my view, this cash drain is gonna burn through reserves of companies if any and Darwin's law of evolution comes into play.
